I have taken a job where all of the files that exist are in DWG format. There are two problems that I have been dealing with and was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. During the import, the drawing is loosing the xref's. Should I first make all the dwg's a AEC file first, or do I have to manually insert these files back into the drawing. Next is that when the import is finished the lables (room lables) have a "U" infront of the text string, Living RM would read "ULiving RM". I don't have access to Autocad, and I don't have the time line to import all of the XRef's back into the drawings. Changing the text is not that important. Also there are some nested symbols in the drawing, where did the symexplode macro go? I read the user guide, and cannot find the funtion in the Layers section of Dcad.

BTW- I would like to thank Datacad for the import feature in the "open DWG dropdown menu". This was a great idea, a real time saver.

DataCAD currently does not support the import of XREFs from DWG. All will have to be reinserted.

The U is due to an ACAD function of underlining text that has the U in front. DCAD doesn't support this one.
